Tang Hao's Bizarre Thought Process Was Just Too Much

Since Flender wanted to leave Luo Ye and the other four hanging for a while, he did not stir up any trouble.

But what Flender had not expected was that instead of him going looking for trouble, trouble came looking for him.

Just after he and Zhao Wuji had finished devising a plan to suppress Luo Ye and the others, an uninvited guest arrived in his room.

This mysterious man in black wore a hood that concealed his face.

Yet the fact that he had managed to arrive here without Flender and Zhao Wuji, two Soul Sages, noticing him already showed that his strength far surpassed theirs.

Zhao Wuji watched the man in black warily, every muscle in his body tense as though ready to strike at any moment.

"Who are you?"

The man in black, Tang Hao, merely glanced at him without answering. Instead, he looked at Flender and said flatly, "I have no interest in meddling with your teaching methods, but remember this: if anything happens to Tang San at your academy, I will never let you off."

Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and retorted without yielding an inch.

"What, are you threatening us?"

To his surprise, Tang Hao nodded directly.

"If that is how you wish to interpret it, I have no objection."

A flash of anger crossed Zhao Wuji's face.

It was not as though Shrek Academy had never had students with powerful backgrounds. Dai Mubai had the Star Luo Imperial Family behind him, while Ning Rongrong was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Who the hell did someone backing Tang San think he was?

He actually dared to come threaten them?

With that thought, Zhao Wuji said directly, "Well, then I'm sorry to say that Shrek Academy has been established for many years, yet very few students have successfully graduated. Quite a number of exceptionally gifted students have died in various accidents."

"If you do not want Tang San to remain at Shrek Academy, then you can take him away right now."

"Otherwise, you have no right to meddle in how we treat our students."

Zhao Wuji was not trying to deceive Tang Hao.

Some students really had died at Shrek Academy. Some had been killed by soul beasts while hunting soul rings, while others had met with accidents in the Soul Fighting Arena.

Perhaps it was a kind of legacy. Even ten thousand years later, during the era of The Unrivaled Tang Sect, Shrek Academy had not abandoned this tradition.

Tang Hao gave Zhao Wuji a deep look, then sneered.

"Is that so? Then let me see what gives you the confidence to say such things."

As his words fell, Tang Hao activated his Soul Power. A massive Clear Sky Hammer appeared directly in his hand, while nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—circled its head, proclaiming his identity as a Titled Douluo.

The instant they saw those nine soul rings, Zhao Wuji and Flender's expressions changed drastically. Their earlier arrogance vanished as they bowed to Tang Hao.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Clear Sky."

After recognizing Tang Hao's identity, Flender and Zhao Wuji were utterly numb.

When Zhao Wuji had been confronting Tang Hao just now, Flender had not spoken up to stop him because he wanted the other party to know that Shrek Academy was not to be trifled with.

But now it seemed that Shrek Academy was nothing but crap. Their students' backgrounds were more formidable than the last, and even the seemingly ordinary Tang San had Tang Hao—the youngest Titled Douluo in history—behind him.

Moreover, they had heard certain rumors about Tang Hao and knew that this fellow had a violent temper. Back then, he had even dared to attack Spirit Hall directly.

Before Tang Hao, Flender and Zhao Wuji could not act tough at all.

Tang Hao was very satisfied with their reactions. It seemed his prestige had not yet been forgotten.

But just as at Nuoding City Academy, the reason he had taken the initiative to reveal himself before Flender and Zhao Wuji this time was to let them know that Tang San was his son, so they would pay more attention to him in their teaching.

Yet compared to building a good relationship with them through polite conversation, Tang Hao, whose thought process was rather bizarre, preferred to speak with strength. He believed that as long as he gave them a thorough beating, they would no longer dare target Tang San in the future.

For that very reason, even though Flender and Zhao Wuji had already lowered their heads immediately, Tang Hao still said flatly, "You two, come at me together. This will also let me see whether I truly have the right to meddle in your affairs."

Hearing this, Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance. Then they looked at Tang Hao and said with bitter smiles, "That will not be necessary, Your Excellency. Please rest assured, we will certainly ensure Tang San's safety and never allow anything to happen to him."

Zhao Wuji hurriedly nodded in agreement as well.

"Yes, yes, yes. Rest assured, Your Excellency. Even if something happens to me, I will never let Tang San encounter any danger."

Shrek Academy's two deans folded incredibly fast.

After all, even if the two of them joined forces, they could not possibly be Tang Hao's match.

Rather than stubbornly enduring a vicious beating, they might as well make their promises first and placate Tang Hao for now. At worst, they could always break those promises later.

Flender thought: I just love telling little lies.

Yet to their despair, Tang Hao did not care about their agreement at all. He raised the Clear Sky Hammer and pointed it at the two of them, saying in a deep voice, "Enough nonsense. I said I wanted you two to join forces and fight me, so you will fight."

Damn it, even bullying people had to have limits.

"We've both already admitted defeat, and you're still refusing to let it go? Do you really think we're afraid of you?"

Well, of course they were afraid.

But Flender and Zhao Wuji had no other choice now. They could only brace themselves and join forces as Tang Hao had demanded, fighting him in a match.

To avoid drawing anyone else's attention, Tang Hao had even "kindly" suggested that they go somewhere secluded.

Flender: Then I really have to thank you for that.

Facts proved that Tang Hao was still Tang Hao.

Even with Flender and Zhao Wuji going all out, they crumbled at a single blow before him, utterly incapable of resisting.

Moreover, Tang Hao seemed determined to use this chance to vent the resentment he had bottled up for so long. So long as he did not kill them, he showed almost no mercy with any of his attacks.

After that utterly one-sided battle ended, Tang Hao felt lighter in both body and mind than he had in a long time.

As for Flender and Zhao Wuji, their bruised and swollen faces were simply too miserable to look at.

After withdrawing his Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao looked expressionlessly at the two men lying on the ground.

"Don't let Little San know I came looking for you, and don't reveal my identity in front of him. From now on, Little San is in your care."

"Same as before—regardless of how good your teaching is, you must ensure that nothing happens to Little San."

With his face swollen like a pig's head, Flender painfully forced out a smile and said in a fawning, ingratiating tone.

"Your Excellency Clear Sky, rest assured. We will definitely train Tang San into a powerhouse renowned across the continent."
